Camera access from Lockscreen - T-Mobile LG G2x

Im abit jealous of the the sensation and iphone(new update) having access to the camera from the lock screen. Can someone try to make this happen on our g2x's. Im running stock rom and this would definitly be a great feature since Im always taking pics of my kids.
FYI if you deactivate the picture review feature on the stock camera app it takes pictures very fast. Its impressive how fast you can take pics coming from an HD2.

There are some apps on the market that let you put widgets on the lockscreen...cm7 has gestures in lockscreen..

Not sure how else to do it besides WidgetLocker
That's an app that you have to pay for in the market that I personally love, it's 2 bucks, I like it a lot.
Perhaps there's another app for that, that's free if someone else has any suggestions on.
basically with widgetlocker you can add anything at the lockscreen, it's pretty sweet. Any widgets, applications, and they open from the lock screen.
You can always check it out at amazon appstore, they have a virtual trial there.

Load CM7.
Set your camera to launch as the custom lock screen app in CM7 settings.
That's how I have mine set up

+1 for Widgetlocker. I have it set up so I can unlock to my home screen, camera, email or texts. It does a few other things as well.

So the wiget locker will use our stock lockscreen and add the camera widget? If so I will buy it. Thanks
And no Im not going to buy the sensation. I played with it at the tmobile store in NYC and even though it looks nice I cant get over the fact that I cant see it in direct sunlight. Screen is beautiful indoors though.

I don't believe it "uses" the stock lockscreen but can easily be themed to look stock. There are tons of themes. Really useful app that looks great too..highly recommended.

I installed widget locker and it great. Just what I was looking for thanks.

Hey guys, I have widgetlocker, was wondering if anyone knew what to do, but sometimes when I get a text with GO SMS Pro, and I click open, and then it shows stock unlock, that's only sometimes. But then other times, it shows my unlock that I made. Anyone know how to go around this so I don't see stock again

Adw.launcher = 2.2 look and feel from froyo

Imho the new adw.launcher is the best home replacement! It's like launcher pro but it's nicer and more options. I recommend to all or at least give it a try and please tell what you think...

I was waiting and waiting for this to finally come packaged in a method not requiring root. It's super sleek and has a ton of options. I love it.
thanks I was just looking for a new home replacement too
I definitely love the insane amount of options but I dunno, just didnt do it for me. Im gonna have to give this one to LauncherPro.
where can I find it at? is it called Adw.launcher?

Wow, its a nice launcher...I do wish for an option to save settings to sd card.
Installed once, and it was nice. I tried reinstalling it and I can't get it to come up. How do you start it initially? Last time I just hit the home button and it gave me the option...

Am I the only person that has noticed a somewhat annoying amount if lag with this launcher?
While I can say it's a nice looking launcher, I just can't say that I would use it in a day to day basis.

Are you using LWP's. That might be your problem.This is fast and smooth for me. If you have them take them off and see if that's your problem.

I'm not sure this install includes the apps, like Allshare. After reading and then searching,i didn't see any references to it. It looks like its just the shell. Can anyone confirm? I would hate to add any more bloatware if I don't have to. I only want Allshare.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Correct its basically just the launcher shell
Its the fully working launcher, if your saying it does not have widgets your correct but no launcher comes with widgets. I know the guy its working on getting the widgets working as well.
I like rosie and the widgets the best my self, but the launcher works well but way to much like a iphone for me.
I can't install any of these without getting an application not installed warning.
Is there a work around?
confirmed... the launcher works fine on the evo. kinda plain with just the message and app icon on the bottom but the app drawer is nice. time to jazzy up the home screens a bit
Im with u....keeps giving me the same errors. do the phone have to be rooted or something

Any way to add more than just the message and app icon?
yea i really need a link to phone if im going to use it at all. exited for the widgets though.
note for anyone switching between this and other launchers, make sure you close this one when switching back if you dont reboot your phone, it will drain resources and battery.
Yeah its easy to add more icons to the bottom as seen in these pics, just while app draw is open hit menu/edit and drag the icons down and also you can re-order the apps as well.

so far it is nice.
i can hide the apps that i do not like (like moxier,and other)

Wonder what damage it will do to the battery though!
So they caused the delay for 2.1 release. Probably they put hours in making this one and thought that it will all be wasted/
Now we all testing the battery.
the japanese has always something special and they keep proving this for us

There's a download link on the same page, just scroll down a bit and look closely
Besides the animated wallpaper I don't see any other reason to choose this over ADW. Does anyone know if it's possible to use the wallpaper without having to run this launcher? In other words, can I use the live wallpaper with ADW?
Really really nice.
I thought live wallpaper is only supported by 2.1 and not by 1.6 ?
Anyway the "one and only" big reason why I´m waiting for 2.1 is the change of stupid lock screen on 1.6. Doesn´t work sufficient enough for me. I tried some lock-apps too, but no app was "much better" than the original one. On every call I have to hope I can unlock the screen. But this one in this pack works perfekt. Thanks for sharing.
Only good point is live screen..ADW is far better..

well it's available only for japan... better late than never i think the apk is modded...
back to adw... i only like the lockscreen and the "live" wallpaper...
can somebody mod this to get only the lockscreen?

Yup, I got that too.
When I'm receiving a call it reverts back to the old lock screen, and when I'm done with the call I'll have to first unlock the default screen, and after that the AmbientTime one. Is there any way to force the AmbientTime lock screen to be used when receiving calls? If not, I guess I'll have to stick with ADW.
In the first post the wallpaper is very colorful but mine is simple! why?

[APP] Netfront Life Screen Launcher

Found this floating around the web & thought I'd share, they have a very interesting UI it's rather different.
A home app replacement with an easy-to-use interface that delivers previews of social network updates as well as phone services data. Pick a service, such as Facebook or Twitter, to see recent updates. Choose Call History or Contacts to call someone. Use the app launcher cube to quickly find any installed app and launch it.
Based around a single circle of icons, you can control every aspect of your phone with a single screen. Two to be exact The second of which is the screen that holds all your applications in a very slick cube design.

PLEASE NOTE: I am not the developer of this app I'm just sharing.
The youtube vid looked pretty cool so i downloaded it to my eris, but when i try to open it gives me an error message and force closes.
Same thing on CDMA Hero.
Tried it on my N1 but found it isn't that smooth....
Love the idea, and it looks great, but it's laggy even on my speedy DX.
kinda nice, thanks for sharing
hope they improve
Yeah, gave it a shot on my Nexus this morning. Needs some smoother animation, more widgets and wallpaper changer.
It looks nice, just not for me.

I'd also like to be able to change out the buttons on the circle app launcher, as some of them can't be removed.
Thanks, about to try it out
I downloaded it yesterday, and I must say I love the concept. It's not too smooth on my Droid 1, even overclocked to 1.25GHz using Slayher's Kernel running Team D1-MIUI.
I haven't had many problems. Only problem is that the widget I selected doesn't always appear and when it restarts, it takes a while for it to start.
its alight...a bit choppy on my vibrant but after some streamlining and if you had the option to customize things it could be pretty cool.
Installed but decided to decline the T & C's, now uninstalled. Is it commonplace for apps to use the email address and name of the handset owner? Perhaps I'm being overcautious.
Can anyone set a different mirror or send this to me, had a problem with the original download and now it won't let me download it....

REALLY slow and buggy on my Mytouch Slide. :/
I'll wait until all the kinks are worked out...
Interesting concept. Would be a good basic OS for some basic phones (non android).. Perhaps flash based etc.
A bit slow and laggy here and there with my Galaxy S. A bit too 'fiddly' for my liking. Good to show off, but too hard to access things quickly.
I used it for some days but you can only have 2 custom icons and you can't remove mixi (japanese social website), the music one play only musics 1 per one and it can't be used on backgrond (it use the one you sometimes have when trying to listen some songs on the phone but not the full featured one)
I've sent my review hopping that they will improve these
its very buggy XD got desire
A bit laggy on my DHD when i swipe to scroll. but when i select an item it scrolls there fast, nice and clean.
Just downloaded and it works fine on my unlocked/rooted N1. Running the latest MoDaCo FRG83D ROM.
Once everything is cached, it runs pretty smooth on both my Captivate and Tab. Icons are pixelated from being stretched on the Tab though.
Major gripe is not being able to have music playing while doing anything else. Definitely going to check out the updates though.
Thanks OP for the find!

[APP][Widget] Broken Screen Widget

Hey there!
I would like to show you one of my first apps.
This is an unpretentious widget supposed to fake an impact on the phone screen and so simulate a broken screen to fool your friends .
I know there are many other apps of that kind on the market but I wanted to write something which would be easy to use and custom.
On top of that, it's free and ads-free. So, tell me what you think, what I could improve, and enjoy .
Here is the market link
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kcp.brokenscreen
And some screen shots

Ahah, it seems pretty good for a first app !!
Totaly useless but must have.
Effect look quite real.
Cool app idea.
Just one thing of note...
And when I browse for it my app browser screen or widget browser it has a black background and your icon is black so it looks like your app doesnt have an icon. But I see it does when I click it I can see it (because it gets highlighted green when I click).
Im on an HTC Evo.
Great app. This will make for some interesting practical jokes.
Made clickable for the lazy!
@JustinBrew
Thanks for your feedback! I have just noticed it too. We'll make an update soon with a new icon .
And for the link, I was unable to make it clickable since this account on Xda forums is new. Thanks for adding this!
Hey,
we pushed an update for the icon, now It should be visible at anytime .

Can't click link. Any hints yo which app is yours in the market?
ahaha nice app...
i hope this one actually works
tried a few on the market but none seem to work quite well
keep it up mate
LOL. can you set it on a timer? I'd love to give the phone to a friend and that pop up then cuss them out. lol!

It works great, but it's kind of small on the galaxy s. you can modify it with launcher pro + to enhance the size. also being a widget it moves when you scroll between panels. it would be cool if it stayed in the same place on each panel and on the app drawer.
